Baby in breech position for anatomy scan

I went for my anatomy scan at 19w4d and I spent 2 hours with the tech because they couldn't get the baby to move into any other positions so they couldn't complete the scan on the baby's spine and the rest of the baby's heart. Is it normal for the baby to be in the breech position so early and is there a good chance of the baby turning around before she is due?

Lol... The baby has more than enough room to do summersaults at 20 weeks. Babes can move and flip all over the place right up until labor begins. It is a misconception that they have to be head down by any certain time and any position is completely normal at this point.

I don't think they worry about how the baby is postioned right now. They still have 20 weeks to turn around and tons of room to do it in. They move pretty freely now - I'm surprised the tech even mentioned that the baby was breech - seems needlessly worrying.

Since they couldn't get the info they needed are you coming back to re-scan?

At this point the baby can turn anyway it wants anytime it wants. There is plenty of room in there. It will probably change positions a whole bunch of times before you deliver. You dont really need to worry about its position until 35+ weeks.
